You need to add a little of the new food in with the usual at first, increasing this a little for the next few days until changeover to the new food is complete.

Hey!

As far as changing cats/kittens from dry to wet food. The way I always do it, is mix some of the wet food in with the dry and then sprinkle an extra bit of dry on top.

They should hopefully think it is their normal food and goble it all down, then just gradually reduce the amount of dry in the bowl and increase the amount of wet. Doing it this way should help reduce that amount of upset tummy you might get from changing food.


As far as smelly cat poo goes, i'm afraid i have never met a cat whos poo does not stink! I find though the wetter it is the more the smell is able to escape. I use a silicate type litter Tigerino Crystals Silicate Litter: Great Deals on Cat Litter at zooplus and find that it absorbes the smell of both cat poo and wee quite well.
I have 4 cats and get through about 2 bags a week. The pack reckons it would last 1 cat a month (which I don't think it true). You still get that imediate smell when they have just been but it absorbes it fairly quickly. So long as my cats havn't been to the loo in the 10 minutes before I get home from work, I come back to a poo smell free house.


My final soloution... a nose peg

Hi there - i had the same problem until i changed my cat litter - i found that using a more absorbent cat litter and coupling it with a hooded litter tray has made a HUGE difference - i dont really smell that much at all, only when they first go! But if i have been out of the house and i come in to a poo in the tray there is no lasting odour at all!

I use Okoplus clumping cat litter and have a van ness hooded litter tray!

Hope this helps

Just a thought to remember - if the cat food smells on the way in, it will smell twice as bad on the way out.
So bere this in mind with your food selection!

We feed Dry & wet food, use hooded litter trays & just try to clean out asap.

Good luck but I don't think you'll ever find a smell free poo

Raw provides smell free poo!

I find that hard to believe Alan, never noticed any smell free poo here, pmsl, whatever we feed. I tried just doing raw chicken at one point and the house was a sh*t hell confused:

Believe what you want but it's true.

Keith, just wanted to know if you found a solution to the hills science plan food and smelly poop issue? did you change your kittens food? I'm currently having the same issue... bought kitten home at 8 weeks and had him for 10 weeks... i clean the tray daily but the smell still lingers. i use the expensive stuff for the litter tray too. he deoesnt have enough sense to just poop outside *sigh* .. what to do?

My tuppence worth

Charlie STINKS after the odd pouch of whiskas from my mum.

In all seriousness, when he's eating decent food, he barely smells at all - the difference is unbelievable!

I know that isn't very helpful with the original post - how to swap the kittens onto the wet food - but definitely try because it will affect how much they smell if they're anything like Charlie

EDIT
The food I give him is pouches from tesco, just nature or something along those lines. I wonder if he smells less because there are less bad additive type things in this compared to whiskas?

Old thread seriously suggest you make your own it will get more response.
